Looking for a New Pediatrician - Anaheim,CA

I was wondering if anyone can refer me to a good pediatrician who is in the St.Joseph network of doctors in Orange. We have one right now that I am not very happy with...she is very capable, but I have issues with things that have happened here and there, but I was willing to overlook them. It seems like 95% of the time we see her, she is always rushed and talking 100mph - like she can't get us out of there fast enough. Although my biggest gripe is calling her after hours. Of the 6 1/2 years she's been our pediatrician, I've called her 3 times after hours, and 2 of those times she has sounded annoyed that I called. I figured, why stay with a pediatrician that I am not 100% comfortable with? So I would love to find a doctor who really takes time with his/her patients and understands how stressful sick kids can be to parents. Thanks!

What can I do next?

Well- Dr. Sears (as in the author) and at least 2 of his kids have a practice through St. Joeseph's. I am certian you could google them. If not, I have a friend that uses one of his son's for her ped, so I could probably get the info from her.

Good luck! I was fortunate that my sister had found a great ped. already, so I just took him, but- we are through St. Judes in Fullerton.

I'm not sure if she is part of St. Joe's, but Dr. Tayna Mayfield is a wonderful doctor. Dr. Mayfield has been my daughters doctor since birth and they are 17 and 14. We have had many diffrent medical problems ranging from heart to very serious reflex. Dr. Mayfield has always been there for us.She has a wonderful staff, listens to what the parent has to say,and returns calls asap.

Hi Dr. Eugene Litwer is fabulous! If you ever have a question, you can call and the Nurse Practitioner will get on the phone or call you back with advice. My kids are now 13 and 15. He is in Santa Ana, next to Western Medical Center.
